Tomi Lahren is getting her due after tweeting her latest lie. The Fox News pundit appears to be even more anti-Islam than she is anti-LGBT, but fulfilled her true goal of following her leader, President Donald Trump, in his attacks on Democratic Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
As she tends to do, offering zero context or background, Lahren out of the blue falsely claimed that “the Left” is standing up for Rep. Omar by saying “we MUST be tolerant of Sharia Law” including “oppression/stoning of gays.”
To be clear, not a single word of what she says is true or accurate.
And she ties her lies into Democratic presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg‘s attacks on Vice President Mike Pence‘s long and ugly history of anti-gay beliefs, policies, and positions.
The Left stands up for @IlhanMN and says we MUST be tolerant of Sharia Law (oppression/stoning of gays) yet mercilessly attack @VP for not believing in same-sex marriage….
Explain your logic.

There is literally zero basis for this obvious lie.
No one on the Left is calling to support Sharia law, or calling to stone LGBTQ people.
Rep. Omar, on her campaign website, has an entire page devoted to the “Fight for LGBTQIA+ Rights.”
“The LGBTQIA+ community’s struggle did not end with the legalization of same sex marriage. People in the queer community are disproportionately affected by the same issues we all experience—lack of access to housing, education, and healthcare; violence; workplace discrimination; among many others. I will fight in Congress to uplift the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community, and especially when that intersects with other marginalized identities.,” she says.
There is no evidence Rep. Omar supports or is an adherent of Sharia law, and she has specifically said it is “laughable” to think it would come to America.
The fear of Muslims implementing Sharia in the US is laughable. We make up less than 1% of the US pop. & have only 2 members in congress. https://t.co/khaEaVDSr6

NCRM reached out to the Congresswoman’s office but did not receive a response by press time.
Here’s how some responded to Lahren’s lie:
Ignorant racists like you pushing this fantasy that Sharia law is coming to America is one of the reasons Ilhan and so many other Muslims get death threats. You should be ashamed of yourself. https://t.co/CNvGr74I2U

This is a blatant lie. Show proof that this has ever been said by the left. Quit spreading fear, hate and lies! You should be ashamed of yourself. You cannot win an argument based on evidence and fact, so instead you spread malicious and dangerous lies! https://t.co/Wgixlih7YQ

“The Left stands up for @IlhanMN” True because she’s usually right. “and says we MUST be tolerant of Sharia Law!” WAAH!? Who said that? Ptomaine pushes the same mentality that caused the massacres at the Pittsburgh synagogue and the mosques in Christchurch & Quebec.

Sharia Law calls for God in government, prayer in school, no LGBTQ rights, no abortions, no immigrants, limiting rights and autonomy for women, arming citizens, capital punishment, Etc. All positions you and the #GOP support. You are the #AmericanTaliban

Imagine being so stupid that you can’t come up with substantive arguments against the left’s policy ideas, so you resort to smearing and straw manning others. Can’t relate.

You just make shit up. Seriously, you’re shameless.

Umm…show us Tomi where Ilhan has ever supporterd Sharia Law. You’re also arguing that anyone can arbitrarily reference any part of Christianity and claim they support the state enforcing it…which guess what? The Quran & Bible are pretty similar.

Pls tell me when and who said we must be tolerant of Sharia Law? Pls tell me Tomi what is Sharia Law & if ALL Muslims abide by the exact same interpretation of it? I await your response.

The left stands up for @IlhanMN, and neither the left nor @IlhanMN are tolerant of or say “we MUST be tolerant of Sharia Law (oppression/stoning of gays)”
It seems like only you are saying that, @TomiLahren.
Explain your logic. https://t.co/VDstq9sN2e

Who the hell is telling you to be tolerant of sharia law? You are a disgrace and intentionally lying. And @vp supports gay conversion therapy. https://t.co/xPxGoUq8HO

We respect Congresswoman Omar’s freedom of religion. We do not respect VP Pence’s decision to be a hateful asshole. It’s pretty easy to understand unless, of course, you’re hateful too. https://t.co/MfHXR7V4aX
